CSR Human Rights Policy

Basic Approach of human rights

The FUJITSU GENERAL Way, which represents the common values of the Fujitsu General Group, states "We respect human rights" in the opening line of the Code of Conduct.

This statement clearly sets out the company's position that "its activities will be based on respect for human rights, that diversity is to be embraced, and that no one shall be discriminated against on the basis of race, religion,disability, gender or sexual orientation, nor shall harassments be tolerated."

We strive to ensure that all employees of the Group demonstrate this spirit in action.

We believe that it is important to properly recognize human rights issues to cultivate a spirit of respect and a sense of the true meaning of human rights, and to act in a way that does not tolerate discrimination or other human rights violations.

It is the fundamental principle of our group that each employee of the Group should be conscious of the need to protect human rights and act accordingly.
